You're right. I don't know what I'm talking about. I certainly am not friends with anyone in the band or anything. You have an excellent understanding of their working process from their twitter photo shares, which are entirely inconsistent with what I've said. It makes it wholly unnecessary to share with you this article and its reference to their playing unrecorded songs a year ago - http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...tlist-20120119 - or the one about Aaron Dessner's recent production of the Local Natives record out in a few weeks.

Aaron is far from the only bandmember to be busy with other projects. You will see Bryce's work with Sufjan and Nico Muhly at that LA Phil show 4/22, plus the brothers' Crossing Brooklyn Festival in Brooklyn 4/25-27 (and, presumably, their MusicNOW Festival in Cincinnati this Spring), and at the Barbican in London 5/10-12. What you will not see around that time is a new National record or tour.

When Sade toured in 2011, she played 3 nights at Staples Center, 2 nights at Honda Center, Chula Vista, Vegas, etc.
She probably sold 150,000 tickets within 300 miles of Indio.
Which makes her more of a draw than anybody rumored to play Coachella this year.

I'd like to see a list of your favorite artists/bands (you can name like 5) and your version of Dreamchella. I would be intrigued....
